Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Install react-hooks-validation

npm i react-hooks-validation

You should have momentjs installed in order to make it work. momentjs is required because it handles date parsing and formatting. You can install it by: npm i moment.

How to use it

DEMO

useValidation(object)

useValidation(object) expects an object to be passed in. ex:

const firstNameObj = {
    name: 'firstName',
    defaultValue: '',
    required: true
}
const firstName = useValidation(firstNameObj);

useValidation(object) returns a new object:

{
    name: 'name', //name
    value: '', //the current value
    error: false, //returns true or false to let us know if validation is ok or not
    required: false, //returns true or false if field is required or not
    defaultValue: '', //returns defaultValue if we provided one
    onChange: function(value), //we need to call onChange everytime we need to change a value
    reset: function() //we call that if we need to reset validation for that field
}

validateAll(object)

validateAll(object) expects an object that contains objects from useValidation(object). And it returns null if no error, or it returns an array of names that failed validation. ex. if both firstName and lastName failed here is what array looks like: ['firstName', 'lastName']

reset(object)

reset(object) expects an object that contains objects from useValidation(object). And it will reset the validation for the object, and all values will be set to their defaultValues.

DEMO

Here is a simple demo of how to use useValidation(object), validateAll(object) and reset(object) together:

import useValidation, { validateAll, reset } from 'react-hooks-validation';

function MyClass(){
    const schema = {
        firstName: {
            name: 'firstName',
            defaultValue: '',
            required: true
        },
        lastname: {
            name: 'lastName',
            defaultValue: '',
            required: true
        }
    };

    const data = {
        firstName: useValidation(schema.firstName),
        lastName: useValidation(schema.lastName)
    }

    function handleChange({currentTarget: input}){
        data[input.name].onChange(value);
    }

    function handleOnSubmit(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        reset(data);
    }

    return(
        <form onSubmit={handleOnSubmit}>
            <div>
                <label>First Name:</label>
                <input type='text' name='firstName' value={firstName.value} onChange={handleChange} />
                {firstName.error && <p>This field should not be blank</p>}
            </div>
            <div>
                <label>Last Name:</label>
                <input type='text' name='lastName' value={lastName.value} onChange={handleChange} />
                {lastName.error && <p>This field should not be blank</p>}
            </div>
            <div>
                <button type='submit' disabled={validateAll(data)}>SUBMIT</button>
            </div>
        </form>
    )
}

useValidation(object, depended)

There is another option to use useValidation(object, depended) by passing a second argument called depended, which is if that value is depended on other value. ex. We all expect confirmPassword to be equal to password, so we can use it there:

    const schema = {
        password: {
            name: 'password',
            defaultValue: '',
            required: true,
            min: 6,
            max: 16
        },
        confirmPassword: {
            name: 'confirmPassword',
            defaultValue: '',
            required: true
        }
    };

    const data = {
        password: useValidation(schema.password)
    }
    data.confirmPassword = useValidation(schema.confirmPassword, data.password);
